Tips from the Community
One of the various rest areas on the Xàtiva - La Pobla Llarga greenway. Currently, there is a lack of shade, both in the rest areas and on the greenway, since the trees planted along the route are not well oriented and will hardly help create shade on the path.

Jaume II of Aragon (1298): "A valley worthy of a monastery of your religion" Take a break and enjoy the view. From here, the Valldigna Valley and Tavernes look spectacular. After all the effort, you deserve this moment to regain your strength and enjoy the scenery. You don't always have to be pedaling; sometimes it's best to stop and let the mountain carry you away. Enjoy the ride again. The Valldigna remains a spectacular place to enjoy the mountains, cycling, hiking, and history. Tavernes de la Valldigna, Simat, Benifairó, and Barx are part of this valley, which, centuries later, remains "worthy" of contemplation.
